Hello. I have a mint Ruger Super Blackhawk that I got new in 1975 and it hasn't had over 20 rounds put through it.
I don't like the square back grip frame so replaced it with a regular Blackhawk steel frame. It didn't feel right so I changed it back.
Now, when the loading gate is open the cylinder will freely spin in both directions with no clicking sounds at all.
Tonight I stripped it down completely per Ruger's disassembly instructions. I put it all back together and the cylinder still rotates freely in both directions.
I checked the plunger on the base pin and it is fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
Sorry...I forgot to say that the transfer bar doesn't entirely cover the firing pin when the hammer is cocked but is however, functional as it should be.
Thanks,
Bill
